I'm getting the feeling that China got the upper hand in the 2020-22 confrontations, even when the information surrounding these is often opaque and contradictory from both sides.

Which brings up the question, what are the advantages China had/has that it has leveraged in these confrontations vs India? One factor is infrastructure which allows them to move troops to friction points faster.

But India was supposed to have advantages of its own, including entire regiments which are already acclimatized to these heights, better mountain warfare experience, and theoretically shorter supply lines from the plains. Troop numbers are also slightly more on the Indian side.

Most conventional weaponry didn't come into play during this saga, as it was mostly troops pushing and shoving each other and vehicles making advances. In such an operational scenario, one would have thought that the Indian Army would have been at an advantage. But we haven't been able to make these factors work in our favor.
The “upper hand” is insignificant, both militarily and even politically. It’s not like india lost a city or a important military base.

Till the US sets up its own semiconductor industry, Taiwan is indispensable to them.
Not for long.
US is forcing TSMC and other semiconductors manufactures to set up foundry in US.





Also US has its own semiconductor industry. What US is now doing is getting these giga-foundires.

Ladakhi people, especially nomads are clearly disaffected.
